Description

The West Entrance Lodge to Nantclwyd Hall is a single-storey gatelodge located on raised ground next to the West Gates, which served as the main entrance to Nantclwyd until the 1960s. The lodge is constructed of brick with stone quoins and features low slated roofs, designed in a cruciform shape. It has gables on the north and south wings, a half-hipped gable on the east wing, and an extended roof on the west wing that creates a verandah supported by timber posts on three sides.

At the center of the lodge, there is a cluster of four brick chimneys with separate octagonal shafts. The windows are made of timber with mullions and transoms, set in freestone surrounds; the main window on the north side, which overlooks the drive to the Hall, is a bay window. The windows feature lozenge-shaped quarry glazing, a characteristic found in many other buildings on the Nantclwyd estate from the same period. There is a boarded timber door on the west face of the lodge. The interior has not been inspected.
